Biography
Sparks, formed by brothers Ron and Russell Mael in the early '70s, is known for their theatrical and influential pop sound that has inspired artists like the Pet Shop Boys and Nirvana. Despite never achieving mainstream success, their genre-spanning music has left a lasting impact on the music industry. From glam rock to synth pop to disco, Sparks' eclectic discography showcases their innovative approach to music.
After starting as Halfnelson in Los Angeles in the early '70s, the Maels transformed into Sparks and found success in the U.K. with hits like "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us" and "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth." Collaborating with producers like Giorgio Moroder, they ventured into disco before returning to their quirky pop roots in the '80s and beyond. With a diverse catalogue of albums and a penchant for experimentation, Sparks continue to captivate audiences with their unique blend of humor and musical prowess.
